Someday baby, when I am a man,
Cadd9 D
and others have taught me
G D
the best that they can
G D/F#
They'll sell me a suit
Em7 G
cut off my hair
Cadd9 D G D
and send me to work in tall buildings
G D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em7 G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9 D
goodbye to the flowers
G D
and goodbye to you
G D/F#
I'm off to the subway
Em7 G
I must not be late
Cadd9 D G D
I’m going to work in tall buildings

Now when I’m retired
Em7 G
And my life is my own
Cadd9 D
I made all the payments
G D
It's time to go home
G D/F#
and wonder what happened
Em7 G
betwixt and between
Cadd9 D G D
when I went to work in tall buildings
G D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em7 G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9 D
goodbye to the flowers
G D
and goodbye to you
G D/F#
I'm off to the subway
Em7 G
I mustn't be late
Cadd9 D G D
Going to work in tall buildings
